  1. It feels a bit like magic, doesn't it? It's not an AI or Large Language Model - just a clever use of search engines to find relevant Stack Overflow pages and then extract useful code snippets.
  2. New release: `v0.0.2`. Get it at https://github.com/gleitz/alfred-howdoi/blob/v0.0.2/Howdoi.alfredworkflow
  3. Thanks for the help @vitor - new release `0.0.2` available at https://github.com/gleitz/alfred-howdoi/blob/v0.0.2/Howdoi.alfredworkflow
  4. Great ideas! Go ahead with the PR @vitor as I'm traveling this week and won't have time to put some of these ideas into action. A useful flag for howdoi will be -j for JSON output to populate the text field. You could also pass -n3 to get up to three potential answers. The last time I checked, homebrew was reluctant to add utilities that could already be installed via pip. I agree that the way this plugin is configured now is annoying.
  5. That's a good idea! I'll give that a spin for the next release. https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/inputs/script-filter/

  7. howdoi Download the Workflow | Fork on Github Instant coding answers via Alfred ⚡ Never open your browser to look for help again ⚡ Introduction to howdoi Are you a hack programmer? Do you find yourself constantly Googling for how to do basic programming tasks? Suppose you want to know how to use the `tar` command. Why open your browser and read through blogs (risking major distraction) when you can simply stay in Alfred and ask: $ howdoi properly use tar command > tar -czf /tmp/workspace.tar.gz . Installation Make sure howdoi is installed on your machine with brew install howdoi. Usage Invoke the Alfred workflow with the keyword Question Keyword (default: howdoi) and then your query. The output will be shown as large type and also copied to the clipboard. Use ⌘↩ to open the answer's web page instead. New to howdoi? You can get started by running: howdoi howdoi Notes If `howdoi` is installed to a non-standard Homebrew location (or with `pip`) then you need to tell Alfred about your appropriate `PATH`. Open the Workflow in Alfred Click "prepare workflow configuration" in the top right (the icon looks like `(x)`) Select the "Environment Variables" tab Make a new entry with name PATH and value as the text output of entering echo $PATH in a terminal, e.g. `/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/username/.homebrew/bin`.
